Shelly Vanderschaegen helped Kevin Kriebs get things ready to continue to prime the vesibule between the two Exhibit cars. Then Kevin began priming. Ray Mormann and Mark Gellman changed out a 250 volt plug on the Loch Sloy so they had power at 9 am.

Jon Habegger and Mark started working on the barrier to go in front of the Union Station sign in the first Exhibit Car. We don't want anyone to touch the original sign as that would likely cause damage to the artifact or to people.

Before lunch Kevin primed one side of the vestibule closet door. Right before the end of the day's work, Shelly primed the other side of the door.

After lunch Ray and Michael Baksic worked on the kitchen floor area in the Birmingham. There is a bit of a step which needs to be fabricated in stainless steel and they were measuring carefully to get it right. Shelly was working with Goof Off taking stickers off of plexiglass and cleaning the 2nd Exhibit Car baseboards.

Michael McCraren was working again in the Pacific Peak on Saturday, February 21st. Mark Hoffman worked in the Passenger Car Department on Sunday.

Jon Habegger took two outdoor pictures of Yard 5 to share. Blue skies and snow to spare.

A big thank you to Kevin Brown who brought cookies and soda pop for the snack bar in the Birmingham and who has provided such things in the past. Donations of soda and packaged goodies, chips, candies, etc., are always appreciated. The Department also wants to thank all contributors who have made generous donations to the Passenger Car Department. We can't do it all without your help!!

Thanks for all your help!

Nick about More Happy Holiday ScenesTue, 12-06-2016 17:36I noticed in the fifth picture the
caption referred to the two stored

ownership of these units changed to
IRM?
